Trying to translate/rotate some packed prims in the viewport - there is a bug.
Houdini drops down an edit sop, but the EDIT sop will not do anything to the selected points OR prims.
Itried to resort to a transform sop and manipulate everything using the ladder , however, every object that is made to rotate, maintains its original orientation - probably due to the complexity of packed prims and the intrinsics.
So that was a no-way forward solution either.
And i dont want to unpack … I imagine SESI just hasnt gotten to this , yet ?

Where are you getting the idea you can edit packed prim/point positions?

So far Packed Edit allows for visibility, materials and lighting.

can't seem to replicate the problem
for me both Edit SOP and Transform SOP with primitive selection correctly translate/rotate/scale packed prims using viewport handles or parm sliders
in with point selection they only translate, which makes sense

When i select a packed prim in the viewport ( click on it ) , a handle displays and an edit sop is auto created in sops. But modifying the handle has no effect.
Feels like a bug.
Im using add to selection - Primitives mode and 14.0.335

the closest to yours I could try was 14.0.333 which seems to work
then 14.0.393 which works as well
I was testing that with packed fragments on simple fractured geo

maybe post the simple not working scene here or try to update to newest build first

thats odd
I tried again and still same result.
I have no control on the version im using.
You say it works - as in - it drops down an edit sop and moves objects or it doesnt allow you to drop down an edit sop ?
